Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1- 4 Checking
Observe all safety precautions: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
View clean working conditions: CLEAN WORKING CONDITIONS
Perform a preliminary check to verify the condition: PRELIMINARY CHECK .
Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.
For wiring diagrams, component locations, and connector views, Refer to the applicable wiring diagram.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Multimeter
- Electrical connector test lead set
Test conditions
- Battery voltage 12.5 V
- Fuse OK
- Ignition switched off
The engine MUST be at room temperature to read the resistance of the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor. Exhaust system must be cool to touch.
Test procedure
-- Disconnect the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor -- harness connector.
-- Measure the resistance of the 2 terminals of the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor -- connector.
Specified value: 221 ohms (+/- 30 ohm).
If the specified value was not obtained:
-- Replace the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor --. Refer to the Repair information.
If the specified value was obtained:
-- Connect the voltmeter to terminal 1 of the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor -- harness connector and ground black lead to engine.
-- Turn the ignition switch ON.
Specified value: 3.35 V (+/-.5 V).
If the specified value was obtained:
-- Leave the red lead on terminal 1 and connect the black lead to terminal 2.
Specified value: 3.35 V (+/-.5 V).
If any of the specified values were Not obtained:
-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor -- electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector T94 connector for resistance.
| Component | Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor -- electrical harness connector terminals | Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector terminals or test box sockets |
|---|---|---|
| Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1 -G235- | 1 | T94/89 |
| 2 | T94/31 | |
| Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 2 -G448- | 1 | T60/51 |
| 2 | T60/55 | |
| Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 3 -G495- | 1 | T94/89 |
| 2 | T94/32 | |
| Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 4 -G648- | 1 | T94/89 |
| 2 | T94/9 |
Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.
If any of the specified values were Not obtained:
-- Check the wires for a short circuit to each other, a short to battery voltage, or a short to ground.
-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- Repair as necessary.
If no malfunction is detected in electrical circuit:
-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information for removal and installation procedures.
Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
- Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
- If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
- If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
